Congratulations, indeed! And best wishes to all. Hope those awards serve you well ;-)
You need to assemble a crack AI team: Where do you even start?
AI is finding its way into every day business and government. The idea of AI is not a new, but what is different is that today's hardware and software is bringing the various concepts underpinning AI to a mass market.
What’s new, too, is the driver: from bots and digital assistants to autonomous vehicles Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Nvidia and others in Silicon Valley are setting a drum beat to which the rest of are marching.

This article explains the fundamentals of industrial networking which ultimately is the backbone network which is providing communications for process devices like robots and other not so interesting stuff.
Came across this on Wired today:

I highly recommend following the "Watch" link within; it leads to a video on YouTube of one of the researchers from Stanford editing a video of George W. Bush to insert new facial and speech expression in real time using an off-the-shelf webcam.

Yep... We're going to need entirely new techniques for determining and maintaining authenticity for things like this. Hey, maybe that can be one of those uses for quantum computing somehow... I'm also thinking blockchain solutions too (even though I really have a pretty weak grasp on blockchain, it does seem like a primary purpose is to help with data integrity.)
Photoshop brought about many similar problems for photography and all sorts of techniques have had to be created to detect when things are doctored.
But really, it's most important to always have a healthy level of skepticism... Even without any sort of editing of a photograph, it's easy to bend the truth just by what you choose to show in the frame!

Anyone else find it amusingly ironic that the spell check software in my browser doesn't recognize the word driverless?

As computers become more powerful, jobs will be replaced with artificial intelligence, leaving no place in the future for humans in the workforce. In the oncoming technological revolution, the staggering change to human mind labor will prove the skills of a programmer to be vital.
This is one example of why driving cars is so complicated. There are huge amounts of variables to account for.
This is so cool! I've already gone through some of the sections in Apple's Swift Playgrounds app and loved it, but this new support for programming robotic toys looks even more amazing and fun. Great way to get kids learning programming at an early age. (Ok, who am I kidding... I want this for myself!)
Any of you check out the Swift Playgrounds app or have any of these robots? Are you teaching your kids to program?

Some interesting pros and cons to giving space exploring robots a personality.

Interesting video!
I think that giving a human personality to a mission makes the public more interested on the mission, more likely to follow the mission and keep themselves up to date on the mission status. Unfortunately, this also shows how our society works and their lack of interest on reading a news article about it. Anyway, I don't think it is a bad thing because thanks to this new approach the public is aware of what scientists are doing.

Ever had a chance to play around with a neural network? The TensorFlow team from Google put together a demo site that lets you mess around and get a feel for them without having to code anything. I like that your able to see what "feature" each group of neurons is learning and then composing together in order to achieve the output.
Thought for the day: if you have an autonomous car and get pulled over for speeding, who pays the ticket? You or the car manufacturer?

@brian - That's an interesting question, I would assume that the cars actively can process a speed limit sign and then that data gets relayed back to Google after x number of verifications and the database gets changed permanently.
There are some other interesting problems to, come to think of it- for example, I wonder how the car would react to something like a construction worker either waving you on to move forward or holding up his hand to stop you.
For a lot of things, there's going to need to be manual interaction- and I think the variable of liability will be in who the car's black box says was in control at the time.

Maybe car companies will work with the state to help pay for electronic signs that interact with their cars. The German automakers did this for the autobahn, making it a super safe place to drive. I was astonished when my rental car automatically pulled the speed limit from the passing signs, and put it on my HUD.

We've got AI winning at poker, driving cars, and detecting cancer. And now, there's even one that just wrote all of David Hasslehoff's lines in a short sci-fi film about AI writing movies... Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but posting here for later viewing.

Ok... had a chance to watch this last night. Was pretty darn weird... Had a bit of a "student film" vibe to it, but it was pretty entertaining to see the performances of the AI written dialog. I really would like to read through the script on its own, as the actors did a great job of selling the lines and I wonder if it would seem more like gibberish without the acting...
In this poll of 158,000 people on how they felt about self-driving cars, ~30% said they’d "be very or extremely concerned about riding in a self-driving car" - unsure if the risks outweigh the benefits and cost.
Curious: does our community share that reservation?

What gets really interesting about all this is when you start to consider the classic philosophical / ethical issue of "the trolley problem". Are you ok with your robot car making a decision that puts you in danger in order to save more lives (like if you're on a collision course with a bunch of kids crossing the road and the car swerves to take you off the road...)
We don't have much about machine learning or a.i. on the site, but I saw this blog post I found interesting.
